意思
When something has been repeated so much it becomes annoying.
文化背景
In Turkey, hospitality is very important. However, this idiom shows that even hospitality has limits if it becomes monotonous. The idiom is said to come from the abundance of squash in palace kitchens during certain periods, leading to its over-use in meals. Turkish 'dizis' (TV series) are famous for being very long. This idiom is the #1 critique used by Turkish viewers on social media. Despite the idiom, 'Kabak Tatlısı' (Pumpkin Dessert) is a beloved winter treat in Turkey, showing the irony of the language.
Use it for 'Dizis'
If you want to sound like a local, use this when talking about a Turkish TV show that has too many episodes. It's the most natural context.
Don't use with elders
It can sound a bit disrespectful if used toward an older person's stories. Use 'Gına geldi' or just listen patiently instead.
